Harry Potter: This senior is pretty strong

It's not unreasonable for two friends who haven't seen each other for a long time to hug for a little while, is it?

Qin Yu thought to himself, feeling rather guilty.

After all, Mr. and Mrs. Granger were watching from the sidelines.

However, he did hold on for a little too long just now.

The main reason was that Hermione hugged him very tightly, which made him feel her inner emotions very clearly. He didn't know how to express his own emotions, so he greedily hugged her a little longer.

This "short time" exceeded a certain normal threshold to some extent.

However, as long as no one deliberately notices this, it's actually not too bad.

For example, the Grangers were busy helping Qin Yu carry his luggage home, so they didn't pay much attention to how long the boy had been carrying him. Well, Qin Yu was definitely being a bit too suspicious.

Then, Hermione happily took Qin Yu's hand and they went into the house together.

She had a lot to say to Qin Yu.

The Grangers, watching their daughter who had been quiet just moments before but had now become lively, couldn't help but marvel at how quickly her emotions changed.

Next came a sumptuous dinner, which Qin Yu ate his fill.

After dinner, Hermione and Qin Yu sat in the living room chatting. However, around 9 or 10 o'clock, Mrs. Granger came over to remind them that it was time to take a bath and go to bed.

Considering that Qin Yu had been on the train all the way and needed to rest, Hermione, though somewhat reluctant, still let him wash up and go upstairs to sleep.

……

……

Lying on the small bed in the attic, looking at the ceiling and the surrounding furnishings, Qin Yu felt a sudden sense of unreality in the quiet surroundings.

Yes, that's where I woke up, and then I went through a lot of things, and now I'm back in this room again.

Life is indeed very interesting; it's always drawing one circle after another.

When he returned to the starting point of this "circle" after experiencing all that, he began to doubt whether he had truly gone through it all.

Yes, just like that saying I once read in a past life: life is an illusion.

Of course, even if it was a hallucination, Qin Yu felt that it was at least a wonderful hallucination.

Then he had an irresistible urge to go downstairs and see if the little girl named Hermione really lived downstairs.

Fortunately, reason told him that it was best not to do anything foolish at this moment.

Amidst these jumbled thoughts, ideas, impulses, and self-criticism, Qin Yu gradually felt sleepy and drifted off to sleep without realizing it.

Before he could transition from light sleep to deep sleep, he faintly heard light footsteps approaching.

This is a special ability he gained from practicing meditation; even while asleep, he can still perceive his surroundings.

Then, the footsteps approached cautiously and finally stopped beside his bed.

So Qin Yu woke up from his light sleep, opened his eyes, and saw the little girl he had just wanted to check if she was still there.

"Qin, can't you sleep either?" The little girl asked excitedly, but not too loudly, when she saw Qin Yu wake up.

Who else could this be but Hermione?

"..."

After a moment of surprise, Qin Yu smiled and nodded, saying, "Yeah, I can't sleep either."

Hermione was squatting by Qin Yu's bedside, wearing a light blue nightgown, her hair simply tied into two braids, her eyes shining as she looked at him.

Qin Yu sat up, reached out and patted her head, saying, "Come sit down."

"Hehe!" Upon hearing this, the little girl happily climbed onto Qin Yu's bed.

As they had done many times before, the two sat side by side on the platform.

Then, Qin Yu pulled his blanket over them and carefully covered them both to keep them warm.

It's still a bit cold inside on winter nights.

Just as Qin Yu pulled the covers up and was about to turn on the room light, Hermione grabbed him and stopped him, saying, "Qin, don't turn on the light. Mom will find out. If she knows I'm still awake, she'll definitely scold me. Besides, she told me not to disturb your rest."

"Yeah, that's right. You didn't accomplish either of those two things," Qin Yu thought to himself.

Seeing how nervous she was, Qin Yu withdrew his hand.

Then he saw Hermione point to her head, saying with a hint of smugness, "I have this..."

As Hermione gently pressed her finger on a spot above her head, a soft light shone down, dispelling some of the darkness in the room and making everyone feel much more at ease.

The thing that was emitting light was the cat hair clip that Qin Yu had given her. Qin Yu remembered that it cost him 10 silver coins when he bought it in Diagon Alley.

"Is it pretty?" Hermione asked, tilting her head.

"Beautiful," Qin Yu said with a smile, looking into her eyes.

"..."

This time, Hermione was a little stunned.

Because she instantly understood that the "good-looking" Qin referred to was not the same as the "good-looking" she had asked about.

Then, she just stared at him blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Hermione's heart began to race and her face started to flush, at which point she turned away in a fluster and coughed lightly.

Only then did she realize that the hand she had extended when she stopped Qin Yu was now being held by a large hand.

"Your hands are too cold, let me warm them for you." Qin Yu said, feeling the little hand's urge to leave.

"..." Hermione blinked a few times upon hearing this, and finding his hand indeed quite warm, she didn't try to pull away anymore.

"So, what shall we talk about?" Qin Yu spoke first, breaking the somewhat silent atmosphere.

"Hmm—I haven't decided yet." Hermione couldn't find a topic to talk about for a moment.

“Alright, let me think… then I’ll tell you the story from Professor Sprout’s Herb Garden to Professor Snape’s Potions Room,” Qin Yu said slowly.

"Mmm!" Hermione nodded vigorously.

From the Herb Garden to the Potions Shop, that sounds intriguing, Hermione thought to herself.

So Qin Yu began by recounting his experiences at Hogwarts, starting with Professor Strout's herb-growing greenhouse.

Of course, he was definitely not just talking about Professor Strout's herb greenhouse and Professor Snape's potion vault; he was just saying that for fun.

"Herbal medicine class is actually quite fun, as long as you understand the properties of those herbs..."

In flight lessons, the most important thing is to find a comfortable flying posture so that you can enjoy the fun of flying. Elvis used to dislike flight lessons, but he gradually changed his mind...

In Charms class, some students always want to try out some strange and unusual spells, like the spell to turn fruit juice into juice. Jimmy tried it once, but what he produced looked more like vinegar than fruit juice...

Professor Snape, he's such a hard man to understand. I can't quite figure him out. We're already pretty close, yet he still embarrasses me in class. Luckily, I'm quite diligent in my studies, otherwise, I wouldn't even have enough points in Gryffindor to cover his deductions...

By the way, I was really unlucky, I got a lot of points deducted... Oh well, laugh if you want...

Professor Swinton, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, is almost unscaring anymore. Many people have gotten used to the scary images he shows in class. Well, he's been a great help to me; he's a very good teacher. I wonder if you've ever had the chance to meet him...

There's also a transformation class..."

Qin Yu had already written about some things in the letter, and some things he hadn't.

However, whether or not it had been written down, Hermione listened very attentively, because what she heard from Qin Yu was far more vivid and interesting than what he had written in his letter.

Moreover, she can interrupt at any time to ask for details.

When she hears something exciting, Hermione's eyes light up, wishing she were there; when she hears something funny, she can't help but laugh out loud, then quickly shuts up, afraid of waking her parents.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but Hermione's hand was warmed up, and then Qin Yu took her other hand. By the time both hands were warm, it was already very late at night.

Seeing Hermione's eyelids starting to droop, Qin Yu gradually softened his voice.

Finally, Hermione rested her head on his shoulder, unwilling to lift her eyelids.

So Qin Yu stopped talking.

The room returned to silence.

This time, however, the silence did not give him the same sense of unreality as before.

Because the real Hermione was sitting right next to him, fast asleep with her head on his shoulder.

Then, without anyone noticing, Qin Yu also fell asleep sitting there.

……

The next morning, Qin Yu opened his eyes and found himself lying in bed.

Hermione was sleeping with her head resting against his chest.

I guess he lay down instinctively after falling asleep last night.

After all, sleeping while sitting is definitely not as comfortable as lying down.

Hermione must have been startled by her own movements, because she slowly opened her eyes.

Then, she looked at Qin Yu's face with a somewhat blank expression.

"Am I still dreaming?" Hermione muttered to herself, reaching out to pinch Qin Yu's cheek.

After confirming that the texture felt very realistic, Hermione finally came to her senses completely, and a hint of panic appeared in her eyes.

Then, she quickly got up.

"Qin, good morning! I'm leaving now!"

After saying this, the little girl trotted downstairs and left.

……

At breakfast, Hermione calmly ate the food on her plate.

Then, Mr. Granger casually asked Qin Yu, "Qin, how did you sleep last night?"

"It's pretty good. I still sleep most comfortably on this bed," Qin Yu replied.

"Well, that's good. But even on holidays, you should still make it a habit to go to bed early and get up early." As Mr. Granger said this, he gave his daughter a meaningful look.

ha?

"Dad, I was wrong!" Hermione almost blurted out.

Qin Yu had a similar idea.

Thinking about it carefully, it's not surprising that the two of them were able to hear their conversation downstairs yesterday, and that Mr. Granger discovered that they were not sleeping in the middle of the night. After all, Qin Yu hadn't used any sound-blocking spells.

However, it was clear that Mr. Granger did not intend to pursue the matter further. After reminding them to take a break, he changed the subject.

This made Hermione and Qin Yu secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

After breakfast, the Grangers took Hermione and Qin Yu out shopping, and the place they went to was the same large shopping mall where they had previously bought Halloween supplies.

This shopping trip involves buying more items than we did for Halloween.

After shopping and returning home, decorating the house will immediately create a Christmas atmosphere.
